Man ,better watch out skier,the mods on here have been known to go postal on anyone who who dare even contemplate iniatiting a flame war(the great purge of last year comes to mind.) SO.......... go play with YO MAMA and be a good boy.

Purge, exodus, call it what you will a lot of good people left and the discussion here is much slower. I don't see a problem with the talking general comic stuff related to Marvel characters, especially when we don't have new toy related stuff of any worth to talk about. Once good product starts shipping or they reveal some new stuff (maybe at SDCC) then there will be plenty to talk about.

That would be me, FlyMan, the man who's eyes grow twice their size when pollen's in the air!

On a totally unrelated not (but revelant to the topic) does anyone owns the BAF Apocalypse? Is he coming well along the MU figs? A french guy is selling one on Ebay and I'm tempted...

Iceman · 06-27-2013, 06:16 AM

Baf Apoc is great for MU. I know lots of guys have him for the MU displays. The baf Sentinel and Giant-Man also work really well.

salsa4datass · 06-27-2013, 06:51 AM

agree with iceman on the baf. he is a great fig that displays very well with mu.
does anybody know when the new wave is suppose to hit?...

How much were they clearanced to?

Which made it roughly 18.91 with tax.

That'd be awesome. Because then twice a year I'd be more powerful than Galactus.

I think he's great. But I know some collectors think he's oversized, even with his shape-changing abilities.

If the Vs. Street Fighter games are any indication, he's a tad too small, if anything.

Back to toys! This is pretty sweet.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna go out and grab an Inhumans set, maybe WCA.

Also, digging the pepper Potts custom on eBay, nice use of the Star Wars mandalorians chick's head.

Saw a 6" Dragon Man advertise in the middle there of the forum, and I was like "Oh, that'd be nice to pick up to use with my MU, might even tinker him to make him the Future Foundation version!"
